This year in Tatarstan the collection of seeds will be carried out with the help of autohydraulic lifters
This year, the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan purchased autohydraulic lifters, which will be used to harvest cones from seed plantations and plus trees in the season of seeds harvesting. If earlier tree seeds were harvested by standing on the car body or on the platform of the tractor's body, now this work will be done using a hydraulic lift on the basis of the GAZ vehicle. The maximum height of the platform is 20 meters. This allows you to collect more seeds with improved hereditary properties, and also allows you to make appropriate care on the forest seed plantations and permanent forest seed plots. Currently, the objects of forest seed production that produce seeds of the main forest-forming species in the Republic of Tatarstan are on the area of 1,336 hectares - in Arskiy, Zelenodolskiy, Isleitarskiy, Kaibitskiy, Kamskiy, Kzyl-Yulduzskiy, Laishevskiy, Prigorodnyi and Sabinskiy forest districts. At the moment, specialists of forestry have collected coniferous seeds - 760 kg, hardwood - 213 kg.
